theintern测试框架-测试iframe

Question

im creating a platform to user automated tests to verify if a widget is functional. I already made the tutorials and the saw the examples but still i can figure out what's happening.

the widget that im trying to test is made with iframes without src attribute and with im trying to find a element inside of that iframe without src attribute.`define(function (require) { var registerSuite = require('intern!object'); var assert = require('intern/chai!assert');

registerSuite({
    name: 'index',

    'greeting form': function () {
        return this.remote
            .get(require.toUrl('localhost:3000'))
            .findById('iframeId')
            .switchToFrame('iframeId')
            .findById('buttonID');

    }
});

});`

With this code it happens that the intern runner returns a error saying that it wasn't unable to find the element. But when i try to run the same code on a iframe with a "src" attribute it finds the correct element and doesn't returns any error.

anyone could help ??

Answer 1

In the above code, you should clear the search context before trying to find an element in the iframe, like:

return this.remote
    .get(require.toUrl('localhost:3000'))
    .findById('iframeId')
    .end()
    .switchToFrame('iframeId')
    .findById('buttonID')

This is assuming the findById call is to wait for the iframe to be added to the page. If you don't need to do that, just leave out the findById('iframeId') call and you should be good.
